Personal profile
Biography
I am a multidisciplinary researcher, investigating how individuals and institutions interact, primarily by looking at how language is used. I originally worked in public policy, and therefore have a particular interest in how research can impact on policy development.
I am currently working mainly on a European project, Improving Justice in Child Contact, which is focused on improving children's participation in child contact proceedings where families are affected by domestic abuse.
